The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that it has
signed former Dartmouth forward David Jones, along with five other
players.
“We feel that bringing David back helps to solidify our
lineup,” said Avalanche General Manager Greg Sherman.
“In addition, we’ve added to our organizational depth
with this group of signings.”
Jones, 24, played in 40 games for the Avalanche during the 2008-09
campaign, totaling 13 points (8g/5a). The Guelph, Ontario native
scored seven goals in his last 22 contests before suffering a
season-ending shoulder injury on Jan. 27 that forced him to miss
the final 34 games. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound right wing was
Colorado’s eighth selection (ninth round, 288th overall) in
the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
